I highly recommend this gym! It truly is an amazing vibe, you can feel it as soon as you enter the gym. Coach Rich is amazing with the kids. I love that he reinforces the same values at the gym that we instill in our children at home! My children love coming to class, they look forward to learning new BJJ moves as well as life skills! Coach Rich has taught both of my children how to be confident and stand up for themselves. In my personal opinion this gym is top notch!
Rich Beaupit's coaching abilities were apparent the first time I walked into Straight Blast Gym of Niagara and saw him run a kid's class. The students were laughing, playful, but not reckless. They listened carefully to instruction and acted respectfully with their partners. They also had a lot of fun. To my mind, these are important markers for a quality gym. Straight Blast Gym of Niagara is a safe environment open to people from all walks of life. You don't need to be a super-athlete. You just need to be willing to learn. That's the starting point. The goal then is one of group learning, rather than a mechanism of enforced hierarchy. This sets Coach Rich's gym apart from so many others. Here, community means more than notoriety. And the seriousness of training is not trumped but ego, but predicated on the idea that we can help each other be better - both on the mats and out in the real world.
This is the best martial arts studio I have ever worked out at. The coaches are all super cool and helpful and I have learned more about my physical capabilities here in a couple of months than I did in years doing other types of athletics. I'm glad I chose Straight Blast!
I have spent much of my life as an educator in the College system. I like to think we try hard to keep up with the education theory and the needs of our learners. I can say with certainty that the learning principles used at Straight Blast Gym of Niagara are state-of-the-art. The atmosphere is friendly and fun. Participants are encouraged to ask questions. I feel I gain knowledge and technique in every class, and the entire process is really fun.
Coach Rich is truly the best in the Niagara region. His knowledge, culture and expectation cannot be matched. He has formed a tribe that truly cares about each other and everyone is determined to better themselves but also assist in bettering others.
